Hey, Could I join? I have 6 Shinies in LG and Sapphire together, 3 in each.
Sapphire-Mightyena, Roselia, and Bellossom (I would have had a Tentacool and Electrike but my brother erased them)
LG-Raticate, Gastly, and Caterpie.
I'm a huge shiny hunter and I search everyday for shinies.

O well, isnt 4 (including a Rayquaza!) enough lol? Ive seen 2 caught one, thats with over 600 hours of gameplay. Anyhow, I made this up the other day. I call it the Essential Shiny Hunter's Survival Kit (tm). To be prepared for any shiny situation, I recommend this setup:

1. A pokemon in your team that knows False Swipe and Spore. Parasect fits this category, but if you dont wish to use one, the next best combo would be Breloom and Scizor.

2. A pokemon in your team with Suction Cups. The only one I know that most ppl would have access to is Cradily. (Octillery can work if you have one, plus he learns many nice moves.) This is for Roarers and Whirlwinders. (Spore with your lead first, then switch if it is one of those annoying pokes).

3. 50 (30 if youre poor) Ultra Balls (or as many as you can afford). For shinies you havent caught the normal version of before.

4. 50 (30 if youre poor) Repeat Balls. I believe they are found in Rustboro city in Ruby/Sapphire, and on Two Island in FR/LG. Repeat Balls are youre best friend. They work extrememly well on pokemon you have already caught, with most weak ones not even needing to be damaged.

There, happy hunting!

Anyone catch any new shinies lately? I haven't been searching for a while cause I've been able to play my Game Cube, and I've been playing for a while*cough3dayscough*. Plus I have to catch up in Pokemon Colloseum. I need one more Legandary dog to catch, Entei.

Stay away from the Rune Valley. Wobbuffet's the only thing that can stop Natu from Teleporting.

You'll also want something to stop those suicide bombing Arab Geodudes. This would be Golduck, a Poli, or a Quagsire. Sandstorm can also be quite useful on Cradily or Quagsire for fleers/exploders, respectively. It won't do anything for Lairon or Geodude, the primary exploders, but it'll whittle down Pidgey's HP, since Cradily can't know False Swipe.

Things that can pass Mean Looks would be of use, only the enemy might flee as you switch them in.

Yeah I forgot about that, a Damp pokemon and a Trapper. Will update later wen I get home.

you can't get red/blue/gold/silver/crystal/yellow pokemon to your ruby version. i was collecting ashes and looking for a shiny skarmory and i noticed something that you all probably noticed a while ago (but i'm just slow). they have different spots... do any other pokemon differ in appearance like this?

Unown does. (but you probably already knew that)

Another source of shiny-suicide is Take Down. The list really does go on... =_=

*sigh* Still no luck finding any shinies. But I am having fun with Emerald! ; Oh, and I've decided to try my hand at fanfic-writing for Pokemon now too. If you guys wanna read it, you're welcome to, of course. The link's in my sig. Oh, and it involves a shiny pokemon of course, lol.

whoa... vice president posted in our club without becoming a member first... there goes my respect for the PC authority... (only kidding) but ya... i haven't been able to secure any shinies lately either... (believe it or not). though i've been kicking some serious backside in battle factory! it's a nice place to be before you have a good team all set up. it gives you good ideas too.

we have guests here from out of town (they're all in bed now)... but i won't be able to come online much because they have little kids who respect me for some unknown reason... o well, so all of my free time is with them for the next half week. i won't be updating trainer cards until at earliest thursday, so please don't ask me to. and... i don't know that i've told you all about this... but my film group (thrive) is nearly done editing our religious/video game genre film! that's right, a kid get's into a game of tetris with satan that determines the fate of the universe. it's rad, i spent over an hour today making the title screens pixel by pixel (while at my friends house where i had no access to my trainer card materials, so don't think you can guilt trip me about my priorities!)... *groan* i'll make sure you all look at it once it's online! because i think it'll be our best yet. i hope to be back on soon, but until then, happy shiny hunting.
